Sara's Decision

Chapter 21

The next day Oliver and Thea showed up with the money for Emiko to pay Dante for her freedom. They had to leave but they let Emiko know that they would be watching from a distance. Emiko knew that this was probably for the best since no one knew about the Ninth Circle.

Emiko met Dante at an abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city. She walked up to him and said "I am sorry to leave the Ninth Circle, but I can't deal with all of the stuff that we do anymore.

"I understand, but you know we can't just let you leave." Dante said.

"That is why I brought you the money." Emiko said.

"You know we can't let you leave alive, but we will take the money." Dante said as he pulled out a knife and was about to kill Emiko.

The next thing that Dante know is that an arrow hits him in the back. He turns around to see the Green Arrow standing there ready to shoot him again.

"Why are you here?" Dante asked.

"I saw that you were about to kill this woman and I couldn't let that happen." The Green Arrow said with his voice modulator on.

"Well I guess you will die to then." Dante said.

He was then hit in the back again with another arrow. He turned around to see someone with a blue suit on just like the Green Arrows.

"I guess you brought back up. I guess I will just have to finish the girl off another time." Dante said.

"That won't be happening, because you will never leave here." The Green Arrow said.

The Green and Blue Arrow both fire at him at the same time. Dante can't dodge both arrows so one caught him in the chest. By the time he could react both of the archers were on him and he was at a disadvantage. Dante was about to throw a smoke bomb in the hopes of escaping when the Green Arrow took out an arrow and stabbed Dante in the heart. Before he died Green Arrow said "This girl is now under our protection. We will send your body to your organization to show this."

Dante then died and the two vigilantes turned around to see Emiko looking at them stunned. She was finally able to speak. "What have you done? Now the whole organization will come after me." Emiko said.

"Maybe, but if you join us, we will know their tactics and we will know how to stop them." The Blue Arrow said.

"Why would I join a group of vigilantes?" Emiko asked.

"Because we said that we would be here with you and it was good that we were." The Green Arrow said as he and the Blue Arrow removed their hoods to reveal the faces of Oliver and Thea Queen.

"Are you serious? My brother and sister are the vigilantes that are saving the city." Emiko said.

"Yes, we are. Would you like to join us?" Oliver asked.

"I guess, if I am joining the family, I might as well join this family too." Emiko said.

"Follow us. We will introduce you to the rest of the team." Thea said.

The two vigilantes rode their motorcycles back to the lair with Emiko following them. When they arrived, Oliver told Emiko to park in the parking lot and go to the entrance and ask for Tommy and then tell him you are here to see Oliver.

When she told Tommy this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see Oliver cheating on Sara already."

"Eww! That's gross. I am his family." Emiko said.

"Oh ok. So, are you looking for the secret lair?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, can you take me there?" Emiko asked.

"Yeah, give me a second. I have to get someone to cover for me." Tommy said and Emiko nodded.

The two then went to the basement door and Tommy entered the code to open the door and they both entered the lair.

When Emiko got to the bottom of the stairs and saw Oliver and Thea standing there with some other people she said "So, you have your lair in the basement of your club? I guess that makes since, from what I heard about you before the shipwreck."

"Yeah, it gives me an excuse to be hear at night. Anyways, right now there are only four of us in the field. You know Thea and I already. They are Sara and Laurel Lance. They go out with us most night. This is Barbara Gordon. She is our hacker and computer genius. Last but not least we have Roy Harper. He is training and will soon be in the field as well. You already met Tommy. He is not part of the team, but he does know about us obviously. Everyone, this is Thea and my sister Emiko. She is going to join the team." Oliver said.

"Nice to meet you. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there are more Queens out there." Laurel said.

"So, what kind of skills do you have to be a part of the team?" Roy asked.

"I am an archer and I have been trained in multiple types of martial art for most of my life." Emiko said.

"Nice, So, I am Oliver's girlfriend. We will probably be seeing a lot of each other as well." Sara said.

"Roy, by the way. I have something for you." Oliver said as he went back to the other room and came back with a box.

Roy opened it and saw a red version of Oliver's suit. He looked up at Oliver and asked "So, does this mean that I am ready to go in the field?"

"It does. Welcome to the team Roy. Now, tomorrow I want everyone here for training. I will not be here, but Sara knows what to do." Oliver said.

"Where are you going to be babe?" Sara asked.

"I am going to Central City to investigate something else that was brought to life while looking for dirt on our mother." Oliver said.

"I know where you are going now. I would like to go with you if that is possible." Sara said.

"It might be better. Ok, Laurel is in charge. Everyone come here tomorrow for training. Do not go out in the field. Let the police do their job tomorrow night." Oliver said and the rest of the team nodded as they all headed home for the night.
